The Tim F listening club

bump

I couldn't find a copy of Smokey anywhere :-(

But I did find a copy of Quiet Storm and have been listening the hell out of it, so maybe will write about that instead.

This sounds interesting but seems like Tim didnt go through with it.

I'm 4th in line but I haven't even come up with a suggestion yet because I know this is going to be a very slow moving exercise.

Someone should start a version of this thread for me, because I'm unemployed right now and have plenty of time to listen to all yr records.

This sounds interesting but seems like Tim didnt go through with it.

I got stuck on the not being able to source the required listening material (though working sixty hour weeks is not irrelevant).

But I did find a copy of /Quiet Storm/ and have been listening the hell out of it, so maybe will write about that instead.

Would definitely be interested in hearing what you have to say!

baby that's backatcha

Tim, are you not on spotify?

Hehe I'm just coming back from one of my bars and one chill client asked for three different Bill Withers songs. Always makes me happy to queue songs for the clients who ask for something unexpected but cool.

i believe tim will be familiar with that track from the excellent eskimo vol. 2 mix

Love this song but I don't actually have eskimo vol. 2! Those comps are very hard to find. I do have Vol. 3 (and Serie Noire Vol. 2 and the first Culture Club comp and some later comps) but never stumbled across vol. 1 or 2 or Summermadnessaftersun or whatever it's called.

eskimo volume 2 is so good. now that i think of it im sort of half-worried that i might have it sitting in a stack of records in my parents house (thousands of miles away) having never returned it to a friend of mine who i borrowed it from circa 2008.

yo tim, did you ever get in to Les Savvy Fav?

Not to date!

I feel guilty every time this thread is revived.

it's fine the record i was going to suggest you've already heard (clarity)

Tim have you listened to Tink's "winters diary 4"??

tim no pressure but yud should get in to Les Savvy Fav

probably my favorite american band of the 00's

start with Go Forth and then move on to Let's Stay Friends

It struck me last night that this is a very Tim F album. I may be wrong.

this album is very ILM, at least

i sense that bijou herbacious neo-soul jazzy vibes from oz have crossed some kind of rubicon this year, or are about to. i can imagine the widening yuppie hegemony, brit empire hand-me-down snobbery, ghastly intensity of the pioneering cafe culture, horrible trite fusion cuisine etc but what else do you have to tell me about it

Do you mean, like, Hiatus Kaiyote?

yeah, but the wave since them. like 30/70 collective, jordan rakei, wallace gollan

maybe also relevant is a post-disclosure zero7 soulection 90s electronica thing with idk flume and stuff?

i'm soft for some of it in undemanding private but was mainly just wondering about irl corroboration if any

rakei is usually like jamie woon without the edge (oof) but recently i've been jamming this excursion of his under an alias https://youtu.be/FwZX1A7RTvQ

I suppose Tim's reaction to Katie Gately's latest belongs here:

Katie Gately

xpost this all sounds like stuff that would be very big (not actually big, but you know) here, but apart from 30/70 Collective's "The Strut" and "Space" (good fake Quadron, that last one) (and Flume obv) I'm not familiar with any of it. Not out of any particular distaste but it's an infrastructure I'm not plugged into.

That said I could make some educated guesses about that infrastructure: modern funk/soul shows on 3RRR, live performances at low-key outside festivals at the Coburg Velodrome and Catani Gardens (possibly untrue but it feels correct), sales through Northside Records, everyone quietly wondering just how much they need to normalise their post-dilla sound in order to make a real splash.

And yes, also all those negative connotations but I'm sufficiently shallow upper middle class myself now that it doesn't bother me so much as demand too little while not being so close to my aesthetic pleasure centres as to be something I actively seek out for comfort. But it's not like there's anything else which seems more exciting right now.
